  The bus transport fare is a function of d defined as . Where d is the distance traveled in
kilometers.

b.) Estimate the bus fare from Manila to Tuguegarao City which is
approximately 450 km.

f(450) = 4 + 0.75(450)
= 4 + 337.50
= 341.50

The estimated bus fare from Manila to Tuguegarao City is P341.50.

  The bus transport fare is a function of d defined as . Where d is the distance traveled in
kilometers.

c.) How far would a passenger travel for a bus fare of P300?

d = 394.67 km

The estimated distance traveled for a P300 trip is 394.67 km
